Richmond Street Staff and PTA ask that you help us teach our students the value of good nutrition by trying an alternative to cupcakes and candy on your child’s birthday.  We would like to suggest the following alternatives: 

v  Donate a book in your child’s name to the classroom. The teacher or your child can read it in your child’s honor

v  Bring in colorful pencils, erasers, or other items that can be used in the classroom

v Bring a “goodie bag” with small toys that you can find in the party section of your local drug store or Target

v  Bring in “100 calorie” snacks
